Understanding Forge/Mod Versions

Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this question.

 

I am trying to help my son install forge and not enough items mods. He is running Minecraft 1.8.9. Can anyone clarify for me if the version of minecraft, forge and the mod have to be the same? I'm very confused.

 

Thank you to anyone who can help.

Forge and Forge mods only run on specific versions of Minecraft. Forge is available for Minecraft 1.8 and 1.8.8 (as well as earlier versions), but Not Enough Items is only available for 1.8 (as well as earlier versions).

 

You can select the Minecraft version to download Forge for on Forge's download page.

 

Most Forge mods include the Minecraft version they're designed for in their version numbers or on their download pages.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

I think he is running 1.8.9. It is my understanding that when we install forge, it puts the version of Minecraft to that same version. Is that correct? Or is he not able to use it until there is a new version of forge/not enough items mod?

 

There are so many places to download these. I went in and deleted all of the ones we tried to make it clean again. Do you recommend a specific source to download?

 

Thank you for helping me be a super mom in helping him do this!
